When the red Toyota went off the road and sank into black water

Greece - In English

By and with Olga Pozeli

A performance on the corruption of power, the meaning of atonement, as well as on our attitude towards the absurdity of a violent and unjust death.

A politician from a wealthy family with a long history in politics, a big fortune and a lot of charm, meets, at a party, a young woman who works as a journalist. A graduate in political science from a well known university, she is very interested in politics. During the party, after several drinks and a solitary walk on the beach, the politician expresses his interest in the woman. Towards the end of the evening they leave the party together. While driving his car, the politician loses control and the car falls into a dark swamp and sinks into black water. He manages to escape the sinking vehicle, leaving the woman drown.

We follow the story through her eyes - an impressionistic jumble of memories and voices from the past intersected by images from the day of her death. These images, stretched in time and constantly repeated, try to give an explanation for the tragic accident that leads to her slow and agonizing death.
